Abstract:

This talk will reflect on the rise of knowledge brokering as a strategy for translating scientific research into healthcare policy and practice. Drawing on a 10-year programme of research conducted in a large-scale collaborative research partnership, it will explore different dimensions and types of knowledge brokering and discuss implications for evaluating its effectiveness. Particular attention will be paid to the ‘dark side’ of knowledge brokering and strategies that could be used to address it.
